Norman Road, Barton-le-Clay, Bedfordshire, MK45

This stunning, thoughtfully extended four bedroom semi detached home occupies a highly sought after position within the village and incorporates a wealth of spacious, interchangeable accommodation finished to exceptionally high standard.

Approach to the home is onto a hard standing block paved driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, whilst the front boundary is enclosed by a low level brick wall. Once inside the property itself you’re immediately greeted by the entrance hall which has a staircase leading to the first floor accommodation, whilst to the left hand side is the principal reception room, the living room. This commands impressive dimensions, in this case 13’9ft by 11’9ft making for flexible furniture placement and has been immaculately decorated incorporating a large window overlooking the front aspect, ensuring the room is flooded with an abundance of natural daylight. Across the other side of the hallway is a separate play room which has recessed spotlights which dot the ceiling. Moving to the rear of the home is the kitchen/diner which has been fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary floor and wall mounted Shaker style units with lighter coloured solid work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been cleverly woven into the design, whilst attractive herringbone tiling sits behind the hob. To the far side ample space has been afforded for a table and chairs, creating the perfect family/sociable area, in addition to an archway through to a snug which provides views across the garden beyond. Running parallel to the kitchen is a utility room which has a continuation of the same storage units and work tops, tying the two areas together seamlessly. Space has been made available for free standing white goods and a door leads down the side of the house. To one corner is a useful cloakroom and completing this level is a study which makes the perfect work from home area.

Moving upstairs the first floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, the master bedroom of which sits to the front elevation and benefits from its own built in dressing area and en-suite. This incorporates a double shower enclosure, low level wc and a wash hand basin set into a vanity unit, whilst modern tiling adorns the splashback areas. Of the remaining three bedrooms, two sit alongside at the front measuring 12’5ft by 9’8ft and 8’7ft by 7’10ft respectively, whilst the other occupies the rear and extends to 12’2ft by 11’0ft at its widest point. They are serviced by a stylishly refitted bathroom comprising of a panelled bath with a shower unit and glass screen positioned over, low level wc and a wash hand basin mounted onto a vanity unit. White monobloc tiling with contemporary grey grout have been added and an obscure window illuminates the room further still.

Externally the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed and executed with a good sized decked seating area as you initially step out, ideal for relaxing or entertaining, beyond which the remainder has been laid to lawn with a secondary, slightly raised seating area to the far end of the garden. The boundary is enclosed by timber fencing.
